Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside.

Add 3 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, to make a spreadable frosting. Use immediately. Makes about 1 cup.
